Why a Self-Catered Ski Chalet Could Be the Perfect Property for You

Your Alpine home away from home — with all the added touches of luxury.

Affording you complete freedom and flexibility whilst providing an authentic Alpine experience, self-catered chalets and apartments are an increasingly popular choice of accommodation for a holiday in the Alps. 

But what makes a self-catered property such a great choice for your next mountain escape? 

Flexibility 

A self-catered property offers you the flexibility to fully create your own schedule. Eat early or dine late; self-catered properties leave plenty of room for spontaneity – perfect for those last-minute dinner reservations or a cosy evening in with all of your favourite comfort foods.

Comfort and convenience

There’s no understating the convenience that self-catered properties afford. Ideal for families and large groups, meals together are easy to organise, ensuring that even the youngest members of the family can be included at meal times. 

A home away from home

The self-catered properties in our portfolio each masterfully blend homely comforts with sleek Alpine luxury. Relax and unwind surrounded by the warm and welcoming atmosphere of your very own mountain retreat. 

Authentic Alpine experience 

Choosing to stay in a self-catered property provides the perfect opportunity to explore local markets and stock up on regionally-produced ingredients. Live like a local for the week and try your hand at cooking the regional cuisine. 

Privacy and space

The self-catered properties in our portfolio offer spacious living areas, elegant bedrooms and modern, fully-equipped kitchens. 

You’ll be well looked after

Don’t worry; opting for a self-catered property doesn’t mean you’ll be left to fend for yourself. Many of the luxury self-catered apartments and chalets in our portfolio come with dedicated concierge and housekeeping services, ensuring you’ll be looked after throughout your stay. 

A relaxed experience

Dress up or dress down — the choice is yours in a self-catered property. Ideal after a tiring day out on the slopes, self-catered properties provide you the peace and privacy to fully unwind, without scheduled meal times or the feeling of needing to dress up for dinner.
